Mathew Knowles says in an interview with BlackEnterprise.com that the decision to leave his gig as daughter Beyonce’s manager was not only an amicable one, but strategic.

“The transition started way before the official announcement,” Knowles revealed. “If you’re strategic, which we are, you don’t make a decision like that before you start dialogue. That dialogue started nine months ago.”

When the day arrived to reveal the news that the father and daughter’s business relationship had reached an end, Knowles said in a statement, "The decision for Beyonce and Music World Entertainment to part was mutual. We did great things together, and I know that she will continue to conquer new territories in music and entertainment."

A pregnant Natalie Portman has decided to give up being vegan so she can nosh on the food she really wants.

"I actually went back to being vegetarian when I became pregnant, just because I felt like I wanted that stuff," she recently told Atlanta’s Q100 Bert Show. "I was listening to my body to have eggs and dairy and that sort of thing."

The 29-year-old Oscar winner became a vegan after picking up a copy of Jonathan Safran Foer's "Eating Animals," but now that she's got a baby on board, Portman says being a vegetarian is a better fit.

In our "Showbiz Tonight" meeting today, we couldn't stop talking about the new bombshell confessions from Jenn Sterger.

She's the television host who was allegedly on the receiving end of Brett Favre’s suggestive voicemails and X-rated texts. Just this morning in a tearful interview on “Good Morning America,” Sterger said she wants people to know she's not a gold-digger or a homewrecker.

The backlash began after an excerpt from her book depicted the actress lobbing harsh words at the rap and hip-hop genres as well as artists Snoop Dogg and P. Diddy. While speaking about an AIDS awareness program she works with, Judd writes, "Along with other performers, YouthAIDS was supported by rap and hip-hop artists like Snoop Dogg and P. Diddy to spread the message...um, who? Those names were a red flag.”

Judd continued, “As far as I'm concerned, most rap and hip-hop music - with its rape culture and insanely abusive lyrics and depictions of girls and women as 'ho's' - is the contemporary soundtrack of misogyny.”
